Er, no. It was the Church that decided what comprised the Bible in the first
place; in other words, the early Church DEFINED what books would go into the
official canon. The collection was first decided by Council of Laodicea in
A.D. 363 and confirmed by subsequent conclaves.

The folks in these assemblies would take issue with the notion that they
decided which writings would define the New Testament. Their position was
that GOD decided which books and they were only His instrument in carrying
out His will.

Nevertheless. . . .
